|Hi.  I'm looking for an X Server for Sun 3's and 386i's.
|I would appreciate any suggestions for which one or ones to use.
|Various tidbits:

All my replies are directly targeted to the 386i.

|  2) MIT's (X11.R3) is pretty fast in monochrome, but color is awfully slow.

If you use gcc and apply the purdue speedups, it's acceptable speedwise.

|  3) OpenWindows is not yet released, and I don't know a firm release
|     date for it.
|  5) I'd love Sunview support if possible, but that's not crucial.

View2 is tweaked towards color rather than B/W performance. I don't know
whether it is actually out, yet.

|  4) I'd love an ICCCM WM if possible, but that's not crucial.

"Wouldnt we all.", he replied drolly...

|Thanks in advance.

You're welcome in retreat.
